Hillary Clinton's Lead Among Nonwhite Voters Surges

By MEGHAN KENEALLY Jun 27, 2016, 11:14 AM ET

Hillary Clinton's double-digit lead over Donald Trump in the latest national poll is significant, and her standing among minority voters is even more dramatic.

An ABC News/Washington Post poll released Sunday has Clinton leading among nonwhite voters by the biggest margin yet: 77 percent of nonwhite voters side with the presumptive Democratic nominee, compared with 15 percent who prefer her Republican counterpart.

"It is an election that is totally driven by the divisions in the country," ABC News political analyst Matthew Dowd said today on "Good Morning America."

"It is white voters overwhelmingly for Donald Trump, nonwhite voters overwhelmingly for Hillary Clinton. Older voters for Donald Trump, younger voters for Hillary Clinton. The educated voters for Hillary Clinton, high school voters for Donald Trump," he said.

While Trump has maintained a lead among white voters, the gap there is shrinking. In a March ABC News/Washington Post poll, Trump had a 9-point lead among white voters; that margin went up to 24 points in May but is now down to 10 points.

Senseless deaths
Looted treasury for the military complex
Millions upon millions of displaced people
The reality that our country invades to steal the natural resources of others
Eternal war......

.......some people just can't get over it. Of course, I'm just speaking for some.

The reference is the 15% who are going to vote for Trump. If you think he's going to change any of that, you might want to put a little more thought into it.

For one:

"Millions upon millions of displaced people "

He wants to displace about 10 million more and ensure that any displaced others can't come to the US.

We don't know what the choice will be. It is that simple. But for the record...I never mentioned Trump or voting for him!

That's the question you responded to. The reference was quite obviously the 15% who said they are going to vote for Trump, which is clearly noted in the OP.

One would assume that you were responding to the question asked, but apparently you just made some random comment that was apropos to nothing. Gotcha.

Though, I agree with you. I'm not sure how anyone can support him at this point.

White voters carried nationally in 2012 for Mitt Romney by +20. (That is, Romney won them 59 to the 39 percent for President Barack Obama.)
